Reports Room For More Rabbis
In U. S. A.
WASHINGTON (JPS) — The iipcniiig of new opportunities, particularly as a result of the growth of B'nai B'rilh Hillel iMjiijidalions, indicates that "tiiere is probably room for an cxpansitm of the American rab¬ binate", undertaken for the li'nai B'rilh Vocational Service Bureau.
'i'he slalisUcs show ihat the five [irincipai rabbinical semin¬ aries have 500 students, of whom from ."id to 60 graduate each year. Since their founding, the seminaries have graduated some 1,:100 rabbis. The average sal¬ ary of a rabbi in Reform, Con servative and Orthodox congrt gallons alike is about $2,400 a year, il is stated.
Dr. Levinger says that the 4 750,000 Jews in the United Sta les are served by approximately 1,700 rabbis and that only 60% of the congregations employ rab¬ bis. The demand for Jewish chaplains in the army, growth of new congregations In small towns and suburbs and the trend toward assistant rabbis In larger congregations are respon slble for "Increasing opportuni ties In the rabbinate."
